There are scores of places where a person could go in search of Lafayette County, Missouri arrest warrants. While most people would agree that criminal matters are best dealt with by the cops, a judicial order of this nature also involves the local tribunals. So, not only the office of the sheriff but also that of the magistrate can serve as a starting point for all warrant searches.

Cops have to approachthe court of the magistrate early on in the warrant issue process with an affidavit in hand which is used to apprise the judiciary of case related facts. The writ needs to provide a clear picture of the criminal incident and the involvement of the accused in it. If probable cause cannot be established through the use of this document, the warrant request may very well be thrown out.

The only leeway that the sheriff's office gets here is that they can request the court to hear out the witnesses before admitting or discarding the plea for Lafayette County active warrant. Once the warrant is released though, things get smoother for the deputies of the sheriff as they are given almost unhindered access to private and public properties to effect the arrest.
